Queue (F2) files AFTER starting F5 copy/F6 move
Posted: 2017-12-20, 06:33 UTC
Is there some reason why one cannot create a queue of a running copy/move command? The only option is Background which is not the same as an F2 queue.
Example: say I'm moving a large number of files. I then realize I want to move some additional files to the same target location. It would be very nice to then be able to F2 the current F6-move process and add the additional files to the F2 queue. If I Background the current command and F2 the additional files, those two commands will be running in parallel which is not very efficient at least for mechanical HDD targets.
